how high do you plan on going with your CR?

 

congrats, nice time and use SS next time

 

close to 11 with ~7-7.5psi

I will have the following:
'03 CL-S block
'03 CL-S head gaskets
'04 Odyssey crankshaft/rods/bearings
'05 RL pistons/rings

and remaining '03 CL-S heads, scalbert's IC.
I'm also going to use Vortech FPR called SFMU w/larger '04 S2K injectors

 

i'm also doing something interesting with engine/tranny mounts. will post next week if it turns out fine.

 

with such a high CR, are you sure it's safe to boost it that much?

 

as long as my AFR is fine.
Bigger injectors, FPR, e-Manage and tuning =

 

Are you Coating the Pistons? Sounds like your building a MONSTER. It will be very intersting to see the contrast between you and ThinJim - High CR vs Low CR.

 

No coating on RL pistons, they look great to me with perfect clearance for CL-S large (intake) valves:

Left to right: '05 RL, '04 Odyssey, '04 MDX



It definately will be strong, the low-end torque and overall powerband for sure comparing to my previous dyno, it just only frigging AV6 ECU is a bottleneck to approach to 400whp and I need to find some ways to crack/replace it. Myself and another guy are currently checking ways to see if 1st gen. 3.2 TL (4AT) ECU will work without entire harness replacement. ThinJim ride will be very strong with built block, turbo and 6MT. However, when getting 350+whp on our rides I prefer auto when tracking and mine prooved to be strong.

 

why not go with a full stand-alone system like AEM if the stock ECU is giving you problems?

 

EMS is not available for our cars . We currently investigating other solutions.
